I agree a test on s390 would be nice. But I have seen installation reports
(well, at least one ;-) where it has been used on other platforms.

Sorry, I can not upload as I'm not a DD. Can I leave that to you?

I think the tests I added are sound from a logical viewpoint. I first test
if the install is being run from a network console (same test was already
used in network-console's prebaseconfig, so should be save); only then do
I test if network-console-config has been successfully installed or not.
Note that the check for multiple PID's should go in anyway as that bug now
prevents the /media/cdrom bit from being run in _any_ installation over
SSH!
And fixing that requires adding the test for SSH-installation to
prevent /etc/inittab being modified.
